Information VIDEO: 2010 Dodge Ram Power Wagon gets dirty with PickupTrucks.com

Filed under: Truck, Videos, Chrysler, Dodge

Click above to watch the video after the jump

The 2010 Dodge Ram Power Wagon is one very capable full-size pickup truck. Its 383-horsepower HEMI V8 engine is but a small part of a rock-traversing equation that includes a solid front axle, electronic sway bar disconnect and a pair of limited-slip differentials. And while the Power Wagon has its way with the desert rocks, it can also tow over 10,000 pounds and tote nearly 2,000 more in the bed.

The Power Wagon appears to be the heavy duty, no-nonsense off-roader that Ram fans have come to expect since the variant first came online in 2005. Our friend Mike Levine over at Pickuptrucks.com took Dodge's freshly updated gravel king out for some fun at the Johnson Valley off-highway vehicle park in Southern California, and he brought cameras to properly document their adventure. Hit the jump to watch as the Power Wagon goes all Kama Sutra with a raft of contorted poses in the name of articulation and traction.

Yep. Push a button and the anti-sway bar disconnects from the front axle, allowing a bunch more (how much is that?) articulation. And those aren't "limited slip" differentials. Those are full-on electric lockers! Add in the 4.56 gears, 33" BFG's, single-rate springs, bilstien shocks, full skid-plating and the 12,000 lb Warn winch hidden in the front bumper, and it's just about perfect... except for that whole NO DIESEL OPTION.
